Merger Of Top Event Production And Rental Companies

Jan. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- The Stuart Rental Company, Milpitas, CA, and Top Productions, Richmond, CA are pleased to announce their recent merger forming the premier, full-line event production and party rental company in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The newly-combined company, which will continue to operate as The Stuart Rental Company, represents a pooling of decades of production expertise, large scale clearspan structure and tenting inventories, and party rental products as two of the most longstanding San Francisco Bay Area event equipment and production firms join forces.

“We have long recognized that designers and event producers have wanted alternatives to the current marketplace,” noted Stuart CEO Michael Berman.  “Having worked with Top Productions over the past several years, company President Peter Daly and I knew that our combined offerings would provide the marketplace with such a solution.  We really couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities.”  

Mr. Daly agreed, commenting, “This new company operating under one roof provides our customers with unprecedented resources.  With Stuart’s enormous inventory of party rental and décor options, and Top Productions’ unrivaled inventory of clearspan structure and tenting in Northern California, we can now service every event along the West Coast.”  Mr. Daly, who will serve as Vice President, Business Development, went on to state, “The region needed a local, family-owned option that could also service large events.  Our clients are thrilled they will no longer have to use corporate or private-equity-owned companies to handle their largest events.  With this merger, the Stuart Rental Company will be able to handle any and all of our clients’ production needs in house.”

Stuart’s Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, R. Andrew Sutton said, “The new company brings together two of the best event companies on the West Coast and will allow us both to expand breadth of product, technical capability and operational efficiencies.  Clients needing large-scale production and event capabilities should breathe a sigh of relief: there is a new option in town to get quality product, great service and competitive pricing.”

The new Stuart has more than 100,000 feet of inventory throughout the Bay Area and a trained sales staff averaging more than 11 years of event planning and design experience. The companies have won a combined 5 Gala awards for achievement in special event design and production, a total virtually unmatched in the Special Events industry.

The Stuart Rental Company is the Bay Area’s oldest and most experienced tenting and event rental company.  They have produced several high-profile events for Silicon Valley’s largest and most innovative companies, celebrity weddings, professional sporting events, Hollywood parties, and events for San Francisco’s most established families. Formed in 1849 to provide temporary canvas shelter for prospectors during the Gold Rush, The Stuart Rental Company has provided event rental equipment and award-winning event services for decades of Northern California galas and celebrations. Today, this party and tent rental company maintains one of the most extensive inventories in the Bay Area and is continually adding new items on a regular basis to give their customers countless choices.  

Top Productions is a premier provider of clearspan structure, and large scale tenting installations and production infrastructure services serving the West Coast from Seattle to San Diego since 1990.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
